Some more information courtesy of Craig:
"Per Section 4.4 (servlet 2.3), the request path elements are context path,
servlet path, and path info. However, if you don't also change request
URI on a forward, you violate the following paragraph (also in 8.4):
"It is important to note that, except for URL encoding
differences, the following equation is always true:
requestURI = contextPath + servletPath + pathInfo"
so there's no choice about updating requestURI as well."
